As musical guest, Styles performed his single "Lights Up" from his upcoming album 'Fine Line.' He described the song to CaptailFM, "For me, the song is about freedom. It's about self-reflection and self-discovery and just, like freedom. It feels like very free to me. A couple things that I've thought about and I guess wrestle with a little bit over the last couple years. It's kind of like just accepting all of those things. It's a very positive song to me."
